1 answer:

4 0

<span>On January 8, 1815, the British marched against New Orleans, hoping that by capturing the city they could separate Louisiana from the rest of the United States. Pirate Jean Lafitte, however, had warned the Americans of the attack, and the arriving British found militiamen under General Andrew Jackson strongly entrenched at the Rodriquez Canal. In two separate assaults, the 7,500 British soldiers under Sir Edward Pakenham were unable to penetrate the U.S. defenses, and Jackson’s 4,500 troops, many of them expert marksmen from Kentucky and Tennessee, decimated the British lines. In half an hour, the British had retreated, General Pakenham was dead, and nearly 2,000 of his men were killed, wounded, or missing. U.S. forces suffered only EIGHT KILLED and 13 wounded.</span>

What is the relationship between inflation/deflation and the cross of gold speech?

RSB [31]

<span>The relationship between inflation/deflation with </span>William Jennings Bryan's Cross Gold Speech is about how the country's economy had to accept the imposition of gold as the only way to validate American money; which Bryan felt was a punishment (making a clear allusion to the crucifixion and crown of thorns) the fact that only gold was proof of the real value of money and hence the economic depressions could originate. His solution to the economic depression he had started since 1893 was to mint "easy money" silver coins, with very little gold (a ratio of 16 to 1), unlimited, to end the depression.

Question 13 of 20

quester [9]

Answer: A. gold standard

Explanation:

When using the gold standard, the value of the currency of a country is based on the value of gold. This means that the currency will be able to buy a fixed amount of gold thereby enabling it to be exchangeable in banks both abroad and at home.

Banks would therefore be required to exchange the currency (U.S. Dollars) for that fixed amount of gold that the country has set its currency at. This currency standard has largely been abandoned.
